Your tithes were already paid.

And your statement here tells me all I need to know about those who refuse to defend the tithe doctrine on its own merits but instead attack those who question it.

Tithing was practiced by the NT church way before there was a Catholic Church.

I hope you are there in eternity. I may hug your neck but it will not be because of the spirit displayed here.

You should stop condemning preachers for preaching and teaching what they believe. I have learned and actually still learning that there are those who pray just as much, study as much and are just as sincere as I am that have a different opinion. I don't condemn them. It is arrogant to do so. It is arrogant because it assumes that the condemner is so much smarter than the other person or has prayed more or has studies more... You get the idea I hope.

I have asked the question once and will ask it again:
When did tithing start and who started it?

Tithing predated the Law so even if the Law ended, which it didn't - it was fulfilled, it would not necessitate an end to tithing.

Where did the Apostles or Jesus say tithing ceased?

Take Care

You have contradicted yourself so many times in this thread and don't even know it.

Tithing as an institution pre-dated the Law? Scripture please.

You say the law was fulfilled but insist one ordinance hung on because Jesus and the Apostles never specifically said it ended? Planting mixed seeds and wearing linen and wool together was not specifically said to have ended by Jesus and the Apostles ,either. Do you practice those as well?

Somebody forgot to study hermeneutics.

Only if it was an offering God specifically told them to give and they refused.

Just a tidbit on info.

Question....if you were in your fathers loins when he received the Holy Ghost does that mean that you have already received the Holy Ghost? If you were in his loins when he was baptized in Jesus Name does that mean that it is no longer a requirement for you?

Rubbish!

I'm not speaking of a specific instance. I mean if a person decides not to give at all, would they be robbing God?

Rubbish!

This argument is self defeating. First of all, the same question (emboldened above) would have to be asked of the writer who credited Levi for having paid tithes while in Abraham's loins. Thus kclee4jc must reject the writer's assertion.

I ask you, kclee4jc or anyone...why didn't Levi have to pay tithes?

kclee4jc asserts that Abraham's descendants continued to pay tithes. However, from the time Abraham paid tithes to the advent of the Law, only ONE of his descendants is recorded as having paid any tithes, Jacob (and he was never commanded to do so by God and is never recorded as having done so more than once). Thus the argument falls flat. The tithe of the Law was the only instituted tithe ever recorded in the Bible and has vanished by virtue of the fact the covenant it sprang from has been replaced.

Either you, Rudy or Sean please answer this question.
